Reader comment:

I recently won Kyla Logan's Catari Heat 1: New Beginnings. I've already claimed my prize and wish to encourage others to get this book. It is definitely 5stars. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down.

Leah is strong and cautious without being a wimp when being introduced to a new species. Darius is alpha without being a bully. The chemistry? Wow, off the charts!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this Erotic Futuristic/Shape Shifter Romance, and anxiously await more.

Thanks for the opportunity to win such quality writing. Happy reading, Marian

Kyla Logan has written a lovely story with some fabulous characters. Darius is pure alpha - he is in charge and makes no attempt to hide it, but he also cares very deeply about Leah - making him a wonderful hero. Add to that the secret he hides, and I fell in love with him over the course of the book. Leah is a strong heroine who won't be forced to do anything, and reacts well to the changes in her life. The Claiming ceremony is very sensual, and very beautiful. I was impressed with the way it was written. The world of Catari can obviously support many more of these stories and I can't wait to read Ashley's story. I highly recommend Catari Heat 1: New Beginnings, and look forward to more from Kyla Logan. Silver Minx - Literary Nymphs - 5 Nymphs

Darius is a compelling alpha male who doesn't disappoint, Leah is a likeable character, and the scenes of passion between the two are scorching. There's nothing overly kinky about this tale, but Ms. Logan simply writes erotica with great ease and flair. This is an ideal book for anyone who wants a short, sexy read without any exotic practices. Ms. Logan sets the scene in this book for Part 2, no doubt the story of Ashley and her fortunate fate with two Jageri mates. Look for Catari Heat 2 to 'kick it up a notch.'

From the first explosive scene between the feisty Leah and masterful Darius you'll be taken along on a wild ride. Their instant attraction is so easily felt that you won't want to put the story down. These two people are destined to be lifemates. Ms. Logan sets forth an interesting premise with her story Catari Heat 1: New Beginnings and entertains the reader with these gifted people. This is a very inventive and gripping first effort by Ms. Logan. What we learn of the people Darius rules only leaves you wanting more. The story itself takes place over a short period of time but the story is so well crafted you get an intimate understanding of Leah and Darius and the Catari people. My only regret was that this story ended so soon. Aggie Tsirikas - Just Erotic Romance Reviews - 4 Stars

Kyla Logan pens a lovely and EROTIC work of paranormal romance with skill and passion. Catari Heat 1: New Beginnings is a spicy and emotion-filled read! After telling Darius and Leah's story, Ms. Logan skillfully sets up the coming sequel to this book starring Leah's friend Ashley, Catari Heat 2: Double the Pleasure.

The sex scenes are hot and erotic. This world of shape-shifters Ms. Logan has created is very interesting. The author did a great job in setting up the next book in this series which will be Ashley's story. Can't wait to read this one! Ms. Logan has written a fast paced hot futuristic that will leave the reader wanting more! Pick this one up, you won't be disappointed. Luisa - Cupid's Library Reviews - 4 Cupids

Excerpt:

Darius entered his room, crossed to the side of the sleeping pallet and looked down at his mate. How beautiful she was, her oval-shaped face had high cheek bones. Her golden, blonde hair was cut short now. She would of course grow it longer to a style in keeping with the traditional Leopai female.

The top of her head only reached his chest when she stood, and that made him feel protective of her. However he had an idea from their earlier encounter that she would not accept his authority over her with good grace. He smiled; she would soon find out what it meant to be the mate of a Leopai male.

Sitting down at the edge of the pallet, he carefully moved the cover to her waist, so as not to awaken her. Knowing he was taking unfair advantage, he still had to see her, to touch her, to convince himself she was actually here with him. He had waited for her a long, long time.

He was glad Mata had removed Leah's torn uniform to heal her. Now he could see all of her. Gently tracing his finger around the areole of one of her breasts, he watched her nipple grow into a hard point. Unable to resist, he bent his head and licked the edge with the tip of his tongue. Leah moved restlessly on the pallet, but stilled when nothing else disturbed her sleep.

Darius could not believe such a brief taste made him harder. He had been hard since he entered the room. Now his cock felt like a steel post! But he had to taste her again…no matter the cost in discomfort to himself.

He took her whole nipple into the warm cavity of his mouth and gently suckled it before licking his way to her other breast. Leaving a moist trail behind him, he drew her other nipple in his mouth. Not sucking hard enough to awaken her, just enough to make her restless; he moved from one breast to the other.

Lifting his head in the growing darkness of the room, he lowered the cover further until he uncovered her pussy. Her curls were the same blonde colour as the hair on her head. She obviously kept it trimmed, as it was not a thick pelt, but that would be taken care of soon. He preferred having a hair-free pussy to eat.

Catching a whiff of her musky feminine aroma he could not resist moving further down till he was close enough to touch his mouth to her treasure. Careful not to awaken her, he set about seeing if she tasted as good as she smelled. He had waited long enough for this treat.

Leah's dark pink centre made his mouth water in anticipation of finally tasting her essence. Darius could see that she had enjoyed his ministrations as there was a layer of her cream, waiting for him to taste. He touched her protruding clit with the tip of his tongue, then unable to resist, began lapping up the cream meant just for him.

Delicious. With a purr rumbling through his chest, Darius moved even closer into the warm, fragrant heat of his mate.
